Tyre pressure ?
buster uk:
i have the original owners manual but my tyres arent the original 205's, they are 235 85 ,so i assume they are different pressure or not ?
v8kenny:
My last motor 110 V8 CSW - I ran at 35 front and 40 rear on 235/85's with no abnormal tyre wear and good handling
Current 200 tdi 90 0n 255/85's runs at 30 front and 35 rear as does my V8 range rover on 235/70's and don't have any problems with either
I would think these pressures would be fine unless anyone tells you any different :wink:
Of course the air is better up here in Scotland ! :D
Grunter:
I run 265 75's at 40 psi on my range rover, helps the road manners and while i realise they should be dropped for off road use have rarely had to. They have covered 14000 miles now and they have worn evenly.
Hope this helps.
FITZ4X4:
I run 235/85 16s on my Rangie. I use to run 30 psi on road dropping to 22 psi off road but I found I was geeting a lot of tyre wall damage at the lower pressure. My mate ran his at 35 psi both on road and off without problems. I now run mine at about 32psi for the past year. The higher pressure seems to help the traction in most conditions and clears the tread better in mud. It also improves the turning circle and gives sighty higher diff clearance. 90% of the time it's an advantage. The only time it's a dissadvange is over smoth stone and rock but I very rarly encounter that terrian.
muddysteve:
when i had my new ones fitted the tyre place told me bfg recomends standard manufacturers pressure + 7 psi for the muds. for road use that is, off road its as low as you dare to go
